From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> commit 3fa2a1df909 (virtio-net: per cpu 64 bit stats (v2)) added a race on 32bit arches. We must use separate syncp for rx and tx path as they can be run at the same time on different cpus. Thus one sequence increment can be lost and readers spin forever.

I'm still thinking about moving tx to take a xmit lock long term, meanwhile this fix appears appropriate for 3.5. Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Dave, can you pick this up pls?
